Why my 3D view gets cliped when zooming close to an object? I have tried the clipping planes and it says they are off. I have also tried them turned on with the same result.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to easily add an object from a profile view to a plan view? I have developed a pipeline profile that has high and low points and I would like to show these points on the plan views.

If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOn the side of sheets created with the Create Sheets command there is a grey area that masks out the referenced files at the match line. Is there a way to reproduce this without having View Frames and using the Create Sheets? In other words, I a manually creating these plan sheets and I wonder if there is a better way of masking than using wipeout on the sheet tabs.

Is there a way to project to seperate feature lines with 2 different label styles. Am able to project object to view but both have same label. Need one to have Ex. R/W and the other NEW R/W, would like to do as one change rather than change each for every view.

I have an existing alignment and a profile view with a profile of that alignment. I would like to offset this alignment to show the edges of roadway and add the existing ground profiles to the same profile view. The edge of roadway lines are 3D polylines and I use the 'project objects to profiile view' to to create the profile. I select use existing surface for elevations and it does, however, it only picks up elevations where the 3d polyline has verticies. So where I have a tangent section that crosses a stream it does not show the stream because there are no verticies at that location. If I create a whole new profile view and select the line it picks up elevations all along the polyline.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wanting to know if there is a way stop part of a projected object from displaying if it is to far away from an alignment profile cut to be of any use.
I know in Revit you can set the deep of view from the section line not sure if you can do anything like this in Civil3d.
How can I copy a profile view style from one drawing to another? I can't seem to locate the ones I created in toolspace to be able to drag them from one drawing to another.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had this issue for about two weeks. I am not aware of any changes to my system though Windows 7 updates automatically.
Often, but not all the time, when I am in a floating viewport which is locked and I zoom in, the part of the drawing disappears as if the view on the viewport has adjusted to one side so that I cannot see any of what I am working on. If I escape the command and 'undo' last command it takes me back to the correct view but in paperspace.
This is a pain as I cannot zoom in to locate a point accurately. It only happens when I zoom in quite close. The viewports are locked and it is only a problem recently. I have used CAD for 20 years and LT 2008 for the last 4-5 years so I dont think it is a user issue. Maybe a settings issue or bug, but I have not knowingly changed any settings which would do this and cannot see why this would be a 'feature'.
Using 2014AutoCAD. Sometimes when zooming in using the mouse wheel by 1 click it the view will go from being zoomed out to zooming past the object in my drawing. this is happening in different drawings.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to 2013 from 2007 and I am having some weird trouble with the move command. I will try to explain.. I type the move command and then select a particular object I would like to move a little and it grabs some (not all) of other objects/lines near it and then stretches the lot in all directions! It actually doesn't allow me to move it at all without stretching/extending all these areas. I have tried everything I can think of and am not sure what I am missing. I thought it was somehow related to the polyline I was selecting, but it does it to single lines as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to using multi view blocks and rendering etc etc... basically all I want to do is show my surface (lake and landscaping) as grass, show a clear blue hatch to represent the water line and add some multi view blocks.. people and trees...
Using the multiview blocks toolpalette I have dragged and dropped some blocks into model space and ensured they are at the correct elevation to sit on the surface...
I have noticed that only one of the multi view blocks within the landscape tab is showing as I would expect - the rest all look like an extruded cross... I don't know how to fix this or whether this is correct.
We have a map of our primary lines in an ESRI .shp file, that superimposes nicely on our other shape files, for shoreline and rivers and everything else, that works fine. As part of some project planning I'm doing, I'm making a series of layouts, each taking a snapshot of an area, with a revision cloud around the lines we're planning to replace.
I loaded the map up this morning and everything was as I saved it, but as I was creating a new layout and zooming to the correct region in my view port, every single revision cloud I drew disappeared. As did all the annotations and other labels I'd made - absolutely everything that isn't from a database just up and vanished.
I've turned off all the database links, there's nothing covering them up, I had none of them selected and used no delete commands, all I did was create a new layout via copy and adjust the viewport on it, they're just gone.
I am trying to animate the rotation of an object whenever it comes close to another object.
For example object 1 is the needle of a compass, I want it to point straight up whenever it comes close to object 2 (a magnet).
I need this to work regardless of where these objects are in world space. The only thing that matters is that they be next to each other; i.e. just like a real compass and a real magnet. I thought maybe I need a proximity sensor but I can't find any good tutorials on that.
I have dimensioned hundreds of drawings with the Ordinate Dimension command in Inventor 5.1. I'm now using Inventor 2011 and I'm having lots of issues using this command. When I first set up the dimensions, I can't get the dimensions to default close to the view. They almost always want to be on the very edge of the title block. I don't think this is a sttings problem, because occasionally they will lock to where I want them. What am I doing wrong?
The first attachment is how they go on their own. In the second attachment, I have manually moved them, but at 1 dimension per move, it's slow, and also hard to keep the all aligned.

When I am in Survey View and hit the Z key, some of the previews are blurry. The same thing happens in Grid View. However, in Loupe View, the images are fine when I the 'Z' key. Using Survey View would make things go faster when making my picks.
I tried rendering 1:1 but the returns a mesage that says renders are up to date and rendering was done.
I am using Acad 2008. When zoomed very close, I can not select/highlight an object such as a line by clicking on its apparent location, instead, I have to try clicking somewhere around it so to select it. The showing line seems an shadow of the real line which is "hiding" somewhere. This usually happens after I played with a drawing (open/close/changing viewing directions etc) for a long time and the drawing seems "degenerated" somewhat. The only way I can correct this is to select all objects in the drawing and copy/paste to a brand new drawing started with a blank template. I guess a system variable governs this effect, but I do not know which one.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy C3D 2013 just started doing this last week... I first noticed that it would zoom to extents when I operated the center mouse button for panning. It was random, about 1 out of every 15 to 20 pans using the center button.
But then I noticed that it's not just the panning. It will randomly zoom to extents when I type in a command. Earlier today, it did it when I did a REGEN, then again when I did a MAPWSPACE.
The other notable thing is that there is no "zoom" command anywhere in the command history when this occurs.
Besides changing the mice, I also tried rebooting and running a repair on C3D. I have Win7-64.
The problem seems to coincide with when I started using Autodesk 360. Not saying it's related, but it's fishy.
Whenever I zoom out in a drawing in Civil 3D with surface contours, some of the contours disappear. I imagine this is a result from a system variable setting but could not find it.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhat is the code that makes it so that zooming in produces the same display?
View 2 Replies View RelatedLets say you have a polyline snapped perpendicular to an acr and you start zooming in they tend to separate. In the past a simple regen would magically make them display as intersecting lines (no gap or overlap). Right now the regen isn't working and I can't figure out why or what changed. I tried changing the VIEWRES but that didn't seem to work. What else could it be? I don't even have to zoom in that far to notice the overlap.

I am trying to "save as" a dxf several shapes in a drawing. Except that when I use my mouse wheel to zoom in, I get this odd message:
"xxx.dwg" has a command in progress. Hit enter to cancel or [Retry]: *Cancel*
Never had this happen until this morning.
Since installing SP1, I have noticed "ghosting" when panning/zooming in paperspace i.e. the original image is still visible. The only solution I have found is to turn off Hardware Acceleration and then turn it back on.

About half the time, when I display the text window, it's more or less locked. I can't scroll, I can't click the "X" to close the window, I can't resize it, I can't move it, etc. All I can do is click back in the main AutoCAD window, which brings it to the top and continue working. The text window stays active and in the taskbar until summoned again - until that session of C3D is closed. (It does still reflect the current command status)
Other times, the text window acts normal. There is no obvious difference between when it acts up and when it doesn't. IOW, I'm always running the same profile, same workspace, the command line is always docked, other palette configuration is the same.

Due to the bug with it, the objects in it disappear, or the icons for visible and print stop toggling, so I have to close it and reopen it. Tried recording one, but the recorder ignored my closing and opening. Just thought it would be handy, for when it locks up like that to press one button, rather multiple buttons and menus.
